In a weird (and barely reported) event, FBI U.S. attorney John Durham stepped down as a U.S. attorney, but is staying on as special investigator of the Russia Hoax.
OAN Newsroom UPDATED 8:31 AM PT – Wednesday, March 3, 2021 FBI Director Chris Wray admitted to slowing the investigation into origins of the Russia hoax, but insisted former U.S. attorney John Durham was to blame.
“Because we’re cooperating fully with Mr. Durham’s investigation, at his request, we have slowed that process down to allow his criminal investigation to proceed,” explained the agency chief. Wray told the Senate Judiciary Committee Tuesday that the Obamagate probe had to proceed slowly because it had to go through the FBI’s Office of Professional Responsibility.
During the hearing, Sen. John Kennedy (R-La.) attempted to get Wray to identify the cause behind the delay. “At the moment, that process is still underway in order to make sure that we’re being appropriately sensitive to the criminal investigation,” stated the Louisiana lawmaker. “So, you’ve had had to hold up as a result of a criminal investigation.” Republican senators have criticized the bureau for dragging their feet with regards to the potential prosecution of top Obama-era officials. They said those officials illegally spied on the 2016 Trump campaign and helped promote the Russia hoax for political purposes.
I'm very cynical that this investigation will ever turn up anything. It is a ruse to convince the public, and particularly Republicans, that investigation is actually happening. But I suspect this is just theatre, and in truth no case is being made. It is a ruse to give former Obama administration officials (specifically Obama himself, Joe Biden, Susan Rice, James Comey, James Clapper, John Brennan, Sally Yates, and FBI officials like Lisa Page, Peter Strzok, Kevin Clinesmith, Rod Rosenstein, Andrew McCabe, and others in FBI/DOJ) cover for several more years, until they can say it was so long ago that it no longer matters, and quietly let the case die with no indictments. Whereas the Comrade Commissar Soviets of the 97% Democrat-aligned DOJ/FBI maliciously prosecute non-existent crimes by the likes of Michael Flynn, Roger Stone, Paul Manafort and George Pappadapoulos, with absurdly long sentences, corrupt judges and corrupt juries, just to smear and destroy those who supported Trump.
This comes despite Durham having resigned as U.S. attorney last month. Meanwhile, he has continued in charge of the Russia hoax as a special counsel. Which is planned to accomplish absolutely nothing. I'd love to be proven wrong and see actual indictments and prosecutions of those I named above. But I'm not holding my breath.
